Minutes:
(NOTE: Councillor C L Strange requested that a note should be made in the minutes that he was a member of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Joint Advisory Committee)
Since the publication of the report a response to consultation had been received from Executive Councillor C J Davie for Economy and Place, the local Member, stating that he fully supported the officer's recommendations in the report and therefore supported the approval of the application.
Oliver Craven, representing the applicant, was in attendance to respond to questions from Members. He stated that as he fully supported the recommendations in the report he did not propose to address the Committee.
Questions from Members to Oliver Craven included:-
· It was noted that there was a shortage of trees around the applicant's site and was it possible for more trees to be planted? There was a shortage of trees, generally, in Lincolnshire. Oliver Craven stated that this request could not be considered as this application appertained to the base of the quarry which could not be seen. However, he would advise the applicant of the Member's wishes. · Was any machinery on the site used all the time? Oliver Craven stated that there many machines used on the site but there were periods when they were not in use. · What traffic increase would take place on the site? Oliver Craven stated that there would be a maximum daily increase of ten vehicles arriving into the site and ten vehicles leaving the site although in reality it was expected to be less than this. It was likely that any increase in aggregate output would coincide with a reduction in chalk output as recycled aggregate was more in demand.
Members' comments included an enquiry about enforcement and whether it was possible to control HGV movements under the terms of the quarrying permissions and over the years the site had expanded and now housed a range of different operations and activities. Given the range of activities it was difficult to differentiate traffic movements associated with each and therefore to impose enforceable conditions to restrict total movements.
On a motion by Councillor I G Fleetwood, seconded by Councillor T R Ashton, it was –
RESOLVED (11 votes for, 0 votes against and 1 abstention. Note: Councillor D McNally had left the meeting during the discussion and voting on this matter)
